Value Objects and Documentation @ Cascadia PHP 2024

In the wake of a global pandemic that left a lot of great conferences as relics of the 2010s, it’s always a great feeling to see some old favorites rise from the ashes. When Laracon announced its 2024 conference would be held in Dallas (and thus eat up a lot of Texans’ conference budgets), the organizers of Longhorn PHP decided instead to focus their efforts on helping another great community conference, Cascadia PHP, get back on its feet.

Getting started with testing at Longhorn PHP 2019!

To my knowledge, Longhorn PHP was the only new PHP community conference in the US that I didn’t get to speak at last year — I was fortunate enough to speak at PHP Detroit (Detroit), Southeast PHP (Nashville), Cascadia PHP (Portland), and WavePHP (San Diego). In fact, I haven’t been outside of an airport in Texas since the final Lone Star PHP (the spiritual predecessor to Longhorn PHP) in 2017. That’s but one reason I’m excited to announce that I’ll be giving my Testing Like You’ve Never Tested Before (Because You Haven’t) talk at Longhorn PHP 2019!
